Doppler Ultrasound Market Outlook 2025

August 21, 2018

A Doppler ultrasound is a non-invasive test. It is used to estimate the flow of blood through blood vessels by using high frequency of sound waves i.e. ultrasound on the circulating blood cells. A Doppler ultrasound may help to diagnose various conditions such as blood clots, poor functioning of valves in leg veins, congenital heart disease, heart valve defects, blocked artery, decrease of blood circulation in legs, bulging arteries, narrowing of an artery for example carotid artery stenosis. Doppler ultrasound can estimate the rate of flow of blood by measuring the rate of change in the frequency of sound waves. It is a pain free test as it only involves high intensity sound waves.

Major drivers for growth of the Doppler ultrasound market are advancement in technology of Doppler ultrasound devices and rising awareness about improved gynecological care for pregnant women. In 2009, Mindray Medical International Limited launched DC-8 Mindray, a portable color Doppler echo machine. It provides a unique scanning experience, can be used for fetal biometry analysis, aids in ovarian mass examination, offers a crystal image quality, is user friendly interface, offers comprehensive analysis, has echo enriched beam forming, provides phase shift harmonic imaging, iBeam, iClear, 3D/4D imaging, and others. DC-8 Mindray’s is majorly used for application in OB-GYN (Obstetrician-gynecologist). In 2013, Mindray launched DC-N3 Pro, which has an inbuilt tutorial software, auto measurement of fetal parameters, multiple beam foundation, IVF Package, and Elastography to measure the stiffness and elasticity of soft tissue. Other factors expected to aid in growth of this market are rising prevalence of chronic diseases and life style diseases in geriatric population, advancements in technology in Doppler ultrasound devices making it more affordable and reliable, and increasing awareness about therapeutic and non-invasive treatments. Doppler ultrasound can also be used to detect breast cancers. According to a study conducted by National Cancer Institute in 2017, the U.S. has over 266,120 cases of breast cancer.
